Nitrous oxide was first used to sedate dental patients as early as the 1840s, which makes it the most time-tested type of dental sedation that’s still in use today!

With laughing gas sedation, you’ll feel “floaty” and disconnected from events around you, but you’ll be fully conscious and you’ll be able to ask questions and respond to commands.
Laughing gas can dramatically reduce dental anxiety, and along with local numbing, you’ll feel absolutely no discomfort or pain during your dental procedure.
It only takes a few minutes for laughing gas to wear out, which means you can get back to your daily routine right away. You can even drive yourself home, unlike with some other types of sedation.
To begin, you’ll discuss your health history, medications and supplements you’re taking, and other details with Dr. Volpicella. While laughing gas sedation is very safe, it’s important to make sure that you’re a good candidate for treatment with nitrous oxide.
At the beginning of your appointment, our team will put a comfortable mask over your nose. You’ll breathe in deeply when directed to do so, and inhale a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. It will take effect right away, and your treatment will begin.
Once your procedure is over, Dr. Volpicella will adjust the machine and send pure oxygen into your lungs. This “purges” the rest of the laughing gas from your lungs. After about five minutes, you’ll feel normal! However, some patients may experience nausea, headaches, and some other minor symptoms. These all go away pretty quickly, though.
Yes. Nitrous oxide is completely safe for children of all ages. And since it doesn’t involve any pills or needles, laughing gas is often the best way to sedate your little one and keep them comfortable during their appointment at Bright 28.
No. Dental sedation is usually not covered by dental insurance. However, sedation with nitrous oxide is quite affordable, and with payment options like CareCredit and in-house membership plan, it’s easy to get the care you need without breaking the bank.
